Monkeyboy is filled with hate, rage and needs anger management classes. I would suspect he likes things tickling his prostate. Just calling it what it is?

This issue put a different way is like this. An atheist saying they got turned down to go to the Catholic Church Camp. Or say the NRA showing up at a planned parent hood annual meeting and electing its members to the board?

Or like a creationist showing up on Hawkin's front step and telling him to walk...

Chuck2 "I doubt very much will change in scouts. They are more interested in becoming better and skilled people than in sex. "

Bible says that "Man's ways are NOT God's ways"

Because of this decision and my firmly held religious beliefs I can not in good conscience allow my son to attend the scouting movement as it no longer aligns with the spiritual beliefs I HOLD AS TRUTH.

You seems to think that one can separate the Body, Mind, Strength, Soul and Spirit of a person? How can we follow the Commandment of God and Love the Lord our God with all of our Body, Soul Mind and Strength.

Why would I VIOLATE the Truth? Don't look to me to Justify your sin. Its yours and I'll have no part in it.

How sad, why would a boy want to be "open" or pronouncing their sexual preference to others? The scouts were never about sexual preference. I will no longer support the scouts and I'm sure millions of other moms wont either.

I want to make sure I understand the conservative position here. Sex between an adult woman scout leader and a teenage boy, as has happened close to home, requires no action, policy statement, or even recognition, yet adult men with no history of interest in sex with boys are banned.

"...the Scouts stressed that they would not condone sexual conduct by any Scout - gay or straight." BSA, however, seems unconcerned when adult female scout leaders become involved with teenage boys. Why not ban them?
